TOM RICHMOND: REUBEN AWARDS POSTER

February 27, 2013

Tom Richmond takes on the task of creating the rollicking illustration for the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Awards Weekend NCS Reuben brochure. This year the event will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, so the scene is of one of their famous “inclines”, a kind of cable car/train that goes up the steep side of the surrounding bluffs and gives you a commanding view of the picturesque three rivers valley.
